"The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is aiming to address the communication problem in the country’s far-flung villages by leveraging space technology, specifically cube satellites or CubeSats…. Dr. Carlos Primo David, executive director of the Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (PCIEERD), one of the DOST’s three sectoral planning councils, revealed this in an interview on Thursday, June 29, during the agency’s seventh anniversary celebration.
David said they are now developing CubeSats, which the DOST plans to send to orbit sometime next year. “We plan to launch two CubeSats in 2018,” he said."
